[ceph-users] Advises for a new Ceph cluster

2014-02-18 Thread shacky
Hi. I have to create a new Ceph cluster with 3 nodes with 4 hard drives in RAID5 (12Tb available per node). I will need 18Tb of available space, so I will create two OSDs per node with a replication factor of 2, and my data will be safe if a node will fail, right? Can you advise me a good configu

Thank you Juan for all info! So, if I understand well, just create three nodes, one OSD per hard drive (without having RAID) and that's all? Will Ceph be able to choose itself where to store data? Let's try! Thank you very much, bye! 2013/12/23 JuanJose Galvez > On 12/22/2013 1:

Hi. I am trying to understand how much space available I will get on my Ceph cluster if I will use three servers with 4x4Tb hard drives each. Thank you very much! Bye. ___ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@lists.ceph.com http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.

Hi. I am going to create my first Ceph cluster using 3 physical servers and Ubuntu distribution. Each server will have three 3Tb hard drives, connected with or without a physycal RAID controller. I would have to be protect on a fault of one of this three servers, having as much as space possible,
